Thanks for all the support. He finally called today! I was shaking when I talked to him, he sounded good, strong, clearheaded. He has court tomorrow and thinks he will only get about 4 months. I doubt that and I asked him what his plans were for when he is released. He said he did not know, I asked him about going to this wonderful two year treatment program offered in the city next to ours and he so I have to think about it. I then let him know that his friend had told me everything. That I know he is Gay and that I DON"T CARE. I told him the entire family loves him no matter what and that we don't want him to die! He said he was just pretending to be gay. I told him I knew he would say that and its ok. I told him when he is ready to admit it I will be here for him. I told him to write to me and I honestly have no idea if he is gay or not but the person who told me he was knew so much about my son that he would have only told him this if he trusted him, and what good would that person have to gain by telling lies.... He was trying to help me understand the inner turmoil my son has been suffering with since he ws 12.
I am just so relieved to have finally spoken to my son and being able to tell him how I feel...... it was a good call and I pray it was good for him... ..

Yay! So glad you were able to talk to him. Hope it puts your mind at ease for a little while. Sounds like he was taken off guard that you knew about him being gay so maybe he wasn't ready to get fully into that, but as he lets the fact that you were supportive knock around his brain for awhile I think he may open up. I am really impressed with how you handled it and so glad that you got off the phone feeling positive. ((HUGS))

You are a great mommy marg! I wonder how many parents could really NOT love and support their gay kids...love is unconditional! Praying for your boy!
